I think you'll find that just about any material you care to mention is
potentially toxic,
in other words it can cause harm if you have enough of it enter your body
by whatever means is necessary to inflict the harm.
Generally, you would rate materials for toxicity in terms of such things as
lethal doses, or exposure limits.
A guide to these would be found on a suitable MSDS.
